Good riddance to a man properly convicted. Stop believing movies. Ask any of his assault or robbery victims before and after his release. Or abut the times he got all stabby. Giardello sued the movie makers and won. Hurricane was not close to winning the belt. He was on his way out of boxing when the murders occurred. Thrown out of the Army after four courts-martial. Don't believe that movie.......

What I didn't know about Carter--tip of the hat to Gung Fu for the inspiration to look this up--was that his boxing career was on the downswing--badly--after he lost that decision to Joey Giardello for the middleweight title.

/I still think that Carter may have had more to do with the triple murder at the Lafayette Grill than he would have had us believe.//not enough evidence there to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt, though.

Ingredients2 ounces of light rum2 ounces of dark rum2 ounces of grenadine1 ounce of simple syrupJuice of two limes2 ounces of orange juiceWedge of orange, for garnishCherries, for garnishInstructions

Mix everything in a shaker. Fill a hurricane glass half full of ice - crushed ice is great. Pour mixture on top and top off with extra ice; garnish with an orange slice and some cherries. Drink responsibly. Enjoy.

It is correct to say, as is asserted on the website, that Carter was never exonerated. He was tried twice and convicted twice (mainly on the testimony of two not necessarily reliable eyewitnesses). Both convictions were subsequently thrown out, and after the second one got tossed, prosecutors decided not to try Carter a third time, twenty years having elapsed since the crime.

This website, on the other hand, demonstrates that the evidence Carter provides to "prove" he was harassed and framed, is bogus

What's cute is they never actually provide any evidence, they just say they have.

Worth reading in this context, I think.

I'm not denying that part, just pointing out that the website claims it has evidence that Carter was never harassed or framed but never provide it. Carter certainly wasn't an angel by any stretch, but it just bugs me when people try to counter what they say are unsubstantiated claims with similar unsubstantiated claims.

You tragically ineffectual little turd.

You imbecilic naive maroon. Go and read the actual witness statements, especially Patty Valentine. Not the Hurricane's version or the Canadiens version but the actual statements. The same with the police reports. Start with why he was pulled over in the first place.
